  1. Review of operations and financial results

    Effective from the beginning of the current consolidated fiscal year, the Company changed its business reporting structure based on changes in internal management reporting. Consequently, corporate expenses that were formerly included in the "Adjustment" have been included in each business segment. To reflect this change in this Earnings release, year-on-year comparisons are calculated based on the figures after the reclassification.

    1. Summary of the results of operations for the three-month period

      For the three months ended March 31, 2026, revenue of Kubota Corporation and its subsidiaries (hereinafter, the "Company") increased by ¥97.5 billion (13.7%) from the same period in the prior year to ¥810.0 billion.

      Domestic revenue increased by ¥19.7 billion (12.0%) from the same period in the prior year to ¥184.4 billion because of increased sales from Farm & Industrial Machinery, Water & Environment and Other.

      Overseas revenue increased by ¥77.8 billion (14.2%) from the same period in the prior year to ¥625.6 billion because of increased sales from Farm & Industrial Machinery and Water & Environment.

      Operating profit increased by ¥36.4 billion (59.1%) from the same period in the prior year to ¥98.0 billion mainly due to higher sales volumes and price revisions in North America for Farm & Industrial Machinery, as well as favorable exchange rate, despite some negative factors such as cost increases related to U.S. tariffs and higher expenses. Profit before income taxes increased by ¥39.7 billion (62.8%) from the same period in the prior year to ¥102.8 billion. Profit for the period increased by ¥31.0 billion (64.5%) to ¥79.1 billion, reflecting income tax expenses of ¥24.6 billion and share of profits of investments accounted for using the equity method of ¥1.0 billion. Profit attributable to owners of the parent increased by ¥31.9 billion (77.2%) from the same period in the prior year to ¥73.3 billion.

      Revenue from external customers and operating profit by each reportable segment were as follows:

      1. Farm & Industrial Machinery

        Farm & Industrial Machinery is composed of farm equipment, agricultural-related products, engines, and construction machinery.

        Revenue in this segment increased by 14.9% from the same period in the prior year to ¥700.8 billion, which accounted for 86.5% of consolidated revenue.

        Domestic revenue increased by 19.1% from the same period in the prior year to ¥90.4 billion mainly due to increased sales of farm equipment and engines.

        Overseas revenue increased by 14.3% from the same period in the prior year to ¥610.4 billion. In North America, the construction machinery (hereinafter, the "CE") market remained firm, supported by steady residential investment as well as public investment and private construction demand. As for tractors, while utility vehicles were in an adjustment phase due to overall economic conditions, the agricultural market remained solid, supported by stable crop prices related to the livestock sector. In Europe, the tractor market remained broadly in line with the previous year, mainly supported by the small- and mid-sized segments despite continued pressure from agricultural product prices. Demand for CE continued to recover, driven by the materialization of country-specific policies. In Thailand, sales decreased as both the rice and dryland crop markets contracted, reflecting lower crop prices and higher fuel and fertilizer costs. In India, sales increased, driven by government rural support measures and favorable crop growing conditions.

        Operating profit in this segment increased by 45.0% from the same period in the prior year to ¥79.7 billion mainly due to higher sales volumes and price revisions in North America, as well as favorable exchange rate, despite negative factors such as cost increases related to U.S. tariffs and higher expenses.

      2. Water & Environment

        Kubota Corporation and Its Subsidiaries

        Water & Environment is composed of pipe system business (ductile iron pipes, plastic pipes, and other products), industrial products business (reformer and cracking tubes, spiral-welded steel pipes, air-conditioning equipment, and other products), and environment business (environmental control plants, pumps, and other products).

        Revenue in this segment increased by 6.5% from the same period in the prior year to ¥105.2 billion, which accounted for 13.0% of consolidated revenue.

        Domestic revenue increased by 6.1% from the same period in the prior year to ¥90.0 billion due to increased sales in each business.

        Overseas revenue increased by 9.4% from the same period in the prior year to ¥15.2 billion due to increased sales in environment business.

        Operating profit in this segment increased by 6.9% from the same period in the prior year to ¥14.3 billion due to higher sales and declines in raw material prices.

      3. Other

      Other is mainly composed of a variety of other services.

      Revenue in this segment increased by 2.2% from the same period in the prior year to ¥4.0 billion and accounted for 0.5% of consolidated revenue.

      Operating profit in this segment decreased by 81.8% from the same period in the prior year to ¥0.1 billion.

    2. Financial position
      1. Assets, liabilities, and equity

        Total assets as of March 31, 2026, were ¥6,265.2 billion, an increase of ¥60.3 billion from the prior fiscal year-end.

        With respect to assets, trade receivables increased mainly in the North America business.

        Total liabilities decreased from the prior fiscal year-end mainly due to a decrease in financial liabilities. Equity increased due to the accumulation of retained earnings and an improvement in other components of equity along with fluctuations mainly in foreign exchange rates.

        The ratio of equity attributable to owners of the parent to total assets stood at 42.9%, 0.6 percentage points higher than the prior fiscal year-end.

      2. Cash flows

        Net cash provided in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was ¥14.7 billion, a decrease of ¥8.1 billion in net cash inflow compared with the same period in the prior year. This decrease resulted mainly from an increase in working capital, despite higher profit for the period.

        Net cash used in investing activities was ¥27.5 billion, a decrease of ¥22.9 billion in net cash outflow compared with the same period in the prior year. This resulted mainly from a decrease in expenditure related to acquisition of property, plant, and equipment.

        Net cash used by financing activities was ¥31.4 billion, a decrease of ¥16.8 billion in net cash outflow compared with the same period in the prior year mostly due to a decrease in repayments of bonds and borrowings.

        As a result of the above and after taking into account the effects of exchange rate changes, cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, were ¥238.4 billion, a decrease of ¥38.6 billion from the beginning of the current period.

    3. Forecasts for the year ending December 31, 2026

      The forecasts of the results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2026, which were announced on February 12, 2026, remain unchanged. Potential impacts on demand and costs arising from geopolitical risks and changes in tariff policies may affect our result but they are fluid at this stage.

      These forecasts are based on the assumption of exchange rates of ¥145=US$1 and ¥165=€1.

        3. Intersegment transfers are recorded at values that approximate market prices.

        4. Beginning with this period, corporate expenses that were formerly included in the "Adjustments" have been allocated to each reportable segment based on a change in the internal management reporting. To reflect this change in presentation, the comparative information has been retrospectively adjusted.
